Didn’t know Australians still had slavery so late in history.

Formally, it wasn't slavery. Effectively, it was.

I'm seeing chains on necks, looks like slavery to me. Even if they were prisoners, that is inhumane.

Fucking greasy to think it's so close to recent history.

It was still happening in the 1970’s.
